Hi - does anyone have any recommendations for a driving instructor for our soon to be 17 year old son?  I saw glowing reviews for Silvano but think he only does automatic cars now.  Thanks 

 

appreciate don’t need to drive in London etc, but may as well get the test out of the way now. 

Nicholas has been teaching in the area for decades https://www.facebook.com/passplus7/?locale=en_GB

But....  noting what you say about not having to drive.,,,,  perhaps consider learning in an electric vehicle as they will be driving them in years to come

If Bumpkin doesn't want lessons in an automatic car they're not going to want lessons in an electric vehicle as you can only get a limited license 🤔

 

My granddaughter (25) passed her test first time. She had been learning on a manual car for many months but progress was slow. She changed to an automatic vehicle with the same instructor and put in for her test within 6 weeks. By the time she can afford to buy a car- there will be more automatic and electrical cars about. Driving instructor was based in Orpington, He advised that more and more learners were using automatics.

Thanks all, my son is an F1 fan who bought himself a simulator steering wheel & pedal set with birthday, Christmas & odd job money ages ago so the practicalities of driving a manual will be simple for him. 
 

I’m after someone that will drill in the safety aspects of driving.  
 

I think F1 is a dreadful sport, but he’s 16 so I give him some slack.  Given the above, think most sensible to learn on a manual as widest use once passed.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
